Men don’t need to wear a cape and tights to be a hero. Simply being a father is enough to win dad an award in my book. Do you have a hardworking, nature loving dad in your life? I have the perfect idea for Father’s Day!

Stanley sent out some of their products that are featured on EddieBaur.com for Father’s Day that gave me some inspiration. They sent out these things:

Stanley products are built for life. Whether it’s surviving another outdoor adventure or serving as a reliable must-have for tailgating season – Stanley provides top quality outdoor gear.

These all scream camping to me so why not surprise that special, amazing dad with a fun family camping trip. You can get by without spending a fortune on supplies and it’s a great way to disconnect from electronics and connect as a family.

The beauty of camping is you can do it pretty much anywhere. If you don’t want to travel further than your own backyard you don’t have to. I prefer going to a campsite near water so swimming and/or fishing is a possibility as well. The location depends solely on your (or the father in your life’s) preference. Why not make a weekend out of it?!

Supplies for your camping trip could include canteens, canned food (don’t forget the can opener), sleeping bags, pillows, blankets, first aid kit, and a tent. If you don’t have a tent or the budget to buy one here’s a great tutorial for making your own tent! The Stanley products would make a great gift that would immediately be put to use. After the camping trip dad can use them for work, fishing, or hunting.
